I am re-reading peak Stephenson cyberpunk (Snow Crash, Diamond Age) and it just hits different when you feel like you’re reading from inside the prequel.
I neither engage in it as an applicant nor value it as a hiring manager. It would be difficult to assess if this has hampered my career, but I am doing fine.
A real bidet is well worth a modest investment if you have the cash to spare, but this could work too.
I would just suggest rubber-banding the sprayer into the “on” position and keeping a kink in the hose easily reachable in front of the toilet. That way, you can simply unkink the hose to spray and rekink it when you’re done. No need to reach down under the dirty bits just to activate it.
Defeatism may be useless criticism but we’re living in a world where misplaced optimism may be deadly. What are you advocating for here? The person you’re responding to is almost certainly correct in their assessment of what will happen next, and that seems worth discussing.
That’s nice but rest assured we will not be consulted when they inevitably decide to further their mockery of the constitution and the very idea of patriotism.
Maybe if we all just start referring to this as “the gas leak season” while we’re in it we can break the 4th wall and escape whatever the fuck this supposed reality is.
I am dealing with this as we speak. Maybe the phone is the problem.
